Why It Matters
The International Cycling Union regularly assigns the venues for future world championships at its annual congresses.
The 2032 Road Cycling World Championships have been awarded to Pune, a city in western India.
Pune's candidacy was preferred to that of the Dutch city of Groningen, which will host the 2034 edition, as decided by the vote held at the International Cycling Union (UCI) congress in Montreal, where this year's World Championships are taking place. “We received two very good applications and I think we have found a good solution for both,” said UCI president David Lappartient.
The first road cycling World Championships outside Europe were held in Montreal in 1974. Japan was the first Asian country to host the World Championships, in 1990, followed by Doha in 2016 and Abu Dhabi, which will host the 2028 edition. Last year, Rwanda became the first African country to host the event, in Kigali. The 2027 World Championships will be held in Haute-Savoie, France.
